Founded in 1973, Mundus Institute is the world's largest educational institution devoted to transportation, tourism, and hospitality; and the principal global supplier of educational software, textbooks, teaching aids, and testing tools for the travel/tourism and hospitality fields, including fully licensed e-learning solutions and training systems for Abacus, Amadeus, Apollo, Galileo, Sabre, and Worldspan.      More than 90% of all GDS training programs worldwide use Mundus learning aids or materials derived from Mundus products.      Complete turn-key curricula are presently supported in reservations and ticketing, travel agency operations, marketing and sales, destinations knowledge, front office operations, food and beverage management, resort marketing, and back office administration.      Tourism is the largest single industry and leading export product in the world. The parallel growth in the use of sophisticated technologies poses significant challenges for the emerging tourism work force of tomorrow.

Our credo: Teachers, students, and employers must work together to achieve a commitment to lifelong learning and the dedication to the highest standards of quality, productivity, and professionalism -- not just in the tourism and hospitality fields, but in all aspects of personal endeavor.
